Abstract: New BIST methodology for RTL data paths is presented. The proposed BIST methodology takes advantage of the structural information of RTL data path and reduces the test application time by grouping same-type modules into test compatibility classes (TCCs). During testing, compatible modules share a small number of test pattern generators at the same test time leading to significant reductions in BIST area overhead, performance degradation and test application time. Module output responses from... (Update)
